Is there anyway to replace the IslandRoadSigns.dds with a .bik file?
Tried removing the original and renaming the .bik to IslandRoadSigns.bik, but it didn't worked.
is there a proper way of doing this? saw some getting done in few mods.

Try replacing IslandRoadSigns.dds with a bik file that's called literally the same
no i tested it doesn't work
then there's just no way to do it
old trackmanias are pretty picky with DDS
if it expects DDS, it will only work with DDS
and by that i mean actual image format
daring talon
well there are mods like these

yeah that's via mod then
mods have much more freedom for this than the vanilla textures

Tried re...
Can you explain how you did this in first place?
did you only try direct replacement or via mod already?
daring talon
i tried this
i also tried doing it with mod but i'm not sure if i did correctly
this should work right?
mild yacht
i tried this
yeah this won't work
mild yacht
this should work right?
but this might
Yeah
you just have to then actually use the mod
daring talon
it shows up as this unforunatly
mild yacht
which means you have to create a map or Ctrl edit a map and select the mod
daring talon
can bik have mipmaps?
mild yacht
it shows up as this unforunatly
do you still have altered textures in your original files there?
daring talon
the textures are original
mild yacht
make sure all your normal textures are normal
mild yacht
i tried this
like none of this
daring talon
it shows up as this unforunatly
it shows like this when i try the mod i made
daring talon
good idea
mild yacht
in the end it perhaps is an issue of bik format
daring talon
bik is giving me so much headache
mild yacht
has for many, yeah
there's chances that you need bik v2 even
idk
the bik videos in the frozenmod show this for the codec in vlc
idk what yours say
if you could post one maybe
mild yacht
wait you can see bik files info?/
yesn't
i just view it with VLC
and go to codec information
daring talon
god the alpha channel is going to haunt me arn't they
mild yacht
i mean
there's potentially more differences that i can't see
but this is an obvious one
and the game probably expects a direct replacement for the channels
as in
if the source texture is DXT3 or DXT5
you need to include an alpha channel
daring talon
ya i just don't really have a way to make a video with alpha right now
mild yacht
if it's DXT1, you must not include an alpha cahnnel
this is what i would speculate from this now
to just match the source texture in terms of alpha channel existence
mild yacht
ya i just don't really have a way to make a video with alpha right now
time to dig deeper into bik i suppose
